Editors' Review

This one-trick pony offers little extra functionality, but it does its job well enough and costs nothing. The application makes quick work of converting MP3s to uncompressed WAV files, and the interface is simple: just drag and drop files directly from Windows Explorer. You won't, however, find any special options for the WAV format besides the abilities to set the output folder and to add volume normalization. Also, you'll have to find additional software to burn audio CDs from WAV files. However, since the program is completely free, we can see how users new to the world of digital audio might appreciate MP3 to WAV Decoder's focused, no-frills approach.

Publisher's Description

Free MP3 to WAV Decoder is a conversion tool that can simplify the process of burning CDs. The basic function is to create burnable WAV files from MP3 audio files. You can preview MP3s before decoding them and display ID3 information on the fly. Additional features allow you to eliminate corrupt MP3 files, normalize the outputted WAV files for consistent volume, and add unlimited files for quick-batch conversion.

Free MP3 to WAV decoder is a great app. I had no issues while installing this simple and easy to use software tool. Although there are only a few features, I think it is sufficient for quick conversion. The program works perfectly well without any glitches. It has no add-on options to cause confusion.

It tried to install a slew of Junk ware and possible Malware on my computer. I declined all of them but the installer still managed to screw with my browser and change my homepage - that is NEVER good!

Summary

People, whenever you are unable to copy or scan a EULA for further analysis, your browser home page is changed, and a program is installed without your permission - beware!

This is a bad download from CNET, a place That I've come to know as being relatively safe from trojans and hijakers, but this file proves that no site can ever be truly safe.

This needs to be removed from CNet and forgotten along with all the other Malware of yesteryear

** DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM **I cannot stress this enough, it will hijack your computer and because of the fake anti-virus fill it with literally thousands of trojans. After i finished removing this program the grand total of trojans it installed where well over 2,600.
